Modellers Without Borders (MWB) will provide value to its subscribers and stakeholders by curating, organizing, creating, and recommending content related to modelling techniques and modelling products. MWB’s recommendation will serve as an endorsement of the quality and veracity of content created by others.
This work will be the responsibility of the Content Curation Team. That team will consist of a Librarian and Curators who will curate content to meet the needs of MWB subscribers and the modelling community. These positions are expected to be a part time, volunteer positions. Current time obligations are less than 3 hours per week, but we expect this to expand during 2025 as we develop MWB’s Educational Services. Once stable these positions should only require 1-4 hours per week. These positions will report MWB’s Vice President for Education and Outreach. If you are interested in one of these position, or have questions regarding details, please send your resume and contact information to dana.mathes@modellers.org.
